Worker radiological safety assessment

Elevated radon and external radiation levels exist in work environments containing traces of uranium e.g. underground or surface mines. The levels may be natural, or enhanced by human activity. Mining and other workforce members are exposed and their radiological safety…

Internationally accepted dose modelling methods are used to assess incremental radiation dose through inhalation, ingestion and external exposure pathways in the following scenarios: Public members exposed on a lifetime basis to radio-nuclides from existing mining operations, and from contaminated land…
